[Adminsysters] Asking for a project collab

[nate wessalowski]

reminder to follow up on nina's request --

/ in the face of protocol confusion :/

i suggest to try out the protocol as it is now and adjust it at a later 
point if necessary. this means that one of the people interested in the 
request by nina would reach out to her (from a personal mail with the 
list in cc) with a short proactive answer and then take on the 
responsibility to start a collective process to clarify who wants to 
contribute, how to proceed the communication and how to report to the 
main list once the conversation moves from there.

this has the advantage that there is a clear initial responsibility 
while at the same time allowing for a collective process and openness 
for participation. (i don't see it as "first come first serve" but more 
along the lines of taking responsibility for proposing something instead 
of delegating it)

hot summer greetings,

n
